While Ryle High School has only been in existence for two decades, it has seen its list of Division I college signees steadily expand in the last few years. That list will grow by five over the next week.
Today marks the initial signing date for the early period for sports that include basketball, wrestling, swimming and diving, lacrosse, volleyball, gymnastics, softball, golf, hockey, baseball and tennis. The regular signing period for these sports starts April 11.
Ryle will have five athletes in four different sports signing National Letters of Intent, and all will be signing on different days.

Athletic director Jim Demler said he's still trying to arrange a date for swimmer Meredith Brownell to sign with Kansas.
"It's a tribute to our kids and our coaches and our community that we have so many kids signing Division I scholarships," said Demler.
"It's really been the last 7-8 years we've gotten a few Division I kids, and the fact that it's been in so many different sports is really gratifying. We're very fortunate we have great kids and we have coaches who push them. We work together as an athletic department and I think everyone is proud of everyone else's success."
